IMPROVE!) ALE, BEER, AND WATER-COOLER The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatI, LEWIs JOHN WOLF, ,of Port Richmond, Philadelphiacity, State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improved Ale, Beer, and Water- Gooler Combined#7 and I do hereby declare the following to be an exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, makingr a part ot' this specification, in which- Figure l represents a vertical section of the cooler with its apparatus. p A

Figure 2 represents the movable inside cooler that is to contain bottles of liquors, or any other articles to be kept cool.

Figure 3 shows the coil of pipe,.resting upon the bottom of the cooler, to contain the beer or ale to be drawn from. v

Figure 4 is a movable sieve, placed a few inches above the coil of pipe, upon which the ice rests, so that beer or ale is kept moderately cool by the water dripping from the ice.

A represents the cylindrical cooler made of metal, or any suitable material, and having a thermometer, B, on the outside, so that the cooler can be regulated to the proper temperature required, according to the character of the liquor to be drawn.

The top of the cooler is movable, so that the ice and movable inside cooler C can be put-in or taken ont when necessary.

The inside cooler C occupies the upper part of the cooler A, and contains a number et' inside cylindrical or square chambers D, to hold bottles, or any articles required to be kept cool. lIt'rests upon an inside ledge.

The space E is kept filled Withice, as maybe required, the ice resting upon the movable sieve G one or more inches above the coil of pipe H beneath,

and the sieve rests u'pon an inside ledge, or feet J, be`

neath.

The sieve is also intended to keep the Water clean,

and prevent any impurities in the ice from falling into the coiled pipe H beneath, it keeps the pipe moderately cool, and of a better temperature than when the ice rests directly upon the coiled pipe containing thebeer or ale.v l

This coiled pipe is intended to be galvanized or tinned, so that the water may be kept pure and free from any rust or corrosion that usually collects upon iron or leaden pipes.

The feeders, or branches K and L, that connect with the coiled pipe H, are intended to be attached, one to a beer-barrel, and the other to an ale-barrel, so that beer or ale can be cooled and drawn fi'om the dischargepipe M on the opposite side, the barrels of aleV and beer being placed on an elevationA above the cooler A, and the cooler A is intended to be placed on the bar or counter, and to be neatly made, andornamented suitable for a public room.

N is the discharge-pipe leading from the waterchamber that is used for drinking-purposes.

l What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure the purposes. set forth.
